How did I'm A Celebrity's Shona McGarty sneak air freshener into camp? Dec has explained it
It is the rule break that has left everyone baffledI’m A Celebrity‘s Shona McGarty is the latest campmate in the spotlight for breaking the rules after sneaking an air freshener into the jungle.
EastEnders star Shona ‘fessed up to having the banned item in last night’s show during a contraband amnesty.
Her admission left both viewers and her campmates baffled as they questioned how on earth she got the aerosol can in undetected.
But I’m A Celebrity host Declan Donnelley has now revealed exactly how Shona pulled it off.
I’m A Celebrity: Shona McGarty’s air freshener rule break
Dec appeared on last night’s spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked, with his co-presenter, Ant McPartlin. While chatting to Joel Dommett, he revealed the naughty way Shona was able to break the rules.
Ant began by quipping: “Where does one hide an air freshener?” Putting his hand in the air, Dec admitted: “I actually know where she got it. She nicked it from the trial.”
Joel gasped and replied: “Stop!” Dec continued: “We think… we don’t know for sure, but we think she nicked it from the trial.” He confirmed the can was so large that it even had ‘500ml free’ advertised on the front.
Joel’s co-host, Kemi Rodgers, asked: “How did she take that back? Under her top or something?” Dec said: “She must have done.”
Shona has done two Bushtucker Trials already this series. It’s believed the air freshener was being used by the show’s crew when dealing with the stench of fish guts and offal.
Will Shona be punished?
Although it appears Shona stole the air freshener, she is unlikely to be punished for her I’m A Celebrity crime. The actress owned up during a contraband amnesty, which came after Alex Scott was caught red-handed with banned item.
The Lioness had previously been spotted sprinkling a small sachet of salt into the campmates’ rice and vegetables. They had all agreed it was their best meal to date, not realising what she had done.
But bosses had spotted Alex and sent a message into camp explaining that someone had broken the rules. They warned that all campmates had to hand over any other contraband that they may be hiding in an amnesty.
Alex was forced to admit her crime and was issued a tough punishment. The camp lost a star from Aitch’s earlier Bushtucker Trial, which meant less food for everyone. And Aitch – who had endured hell in the Night Night Sleep Tight – was not happy.
Shona went and retrieved her air fresher and held it behind her back. She then revealed it and gave it a quick spray.
The note into camp confirmed there would be no further punishment if all contraband was declared in the amnesty.
I’m A Celebrity’s Aitch reacts
Aitch, who is the current camp leader, wasn’t wildly impressed with Alex and Shona for being caught.
He told the group: “As camp leader at the moment, I don’t want anyone to be disappointed in anyone. The contraband that has been caught was for everyone’s sake.
“But what I will say is, I worked hard for 11 stars today and got one taken from us. If we are going to do naughty things, we need to keep them under the radar.”
Martin Kemp was then seen in the Bush Telegraph, asking: “Air freshener? This was a big old tin. I just can’t work out how she got it in.”
Speak to Dec, Martin! He will tell you!
